One of WWII's last and one of the bloodiest American battles ever fought took place on a tiny Pacific island, leaving in it's wake more than 30,000 American and Japanese soldiers dead. The story of Iwo Jima is told completely by those who have survived 50 years past it and who recount the unforgettable battle in a tribute-like salute to all those who were lost there. 1996/color/49 min/NR.
